Rather than congratulate Skinny Dipper Hot Springs on winning this Best of Boise catalogue, we instead extend our condolences. The springs, just 45 minutes from Boise, offered a canyon-top soaking experience complete with trickling waterfalls. However, earlier this year, the Bureau of Land Management made the decision to pull the plug on the popular hot springs after a BLM report cited health hazards and criminal activity at Skinny. Starting next year, sadly, Skinny Dipper will no longer be open. It will be clothed. idahohotsprings.com
